This whole concept made a big impression on and within me. I would really appreciate hearing more on this subject as it somehow makes a sh...

Classroom Talk: 12/24/2004 - Whenever we can remember that we would rather smile about what life brings us than suffer over it -- that our natural preference is happiness, not hurtfulness -- then in such moments of being mindful of what we love most... can't we also strive to remember how much better it is, for everyone, to brighten the life of another rather than to darken it in our forgetfulness?

Classroom Talk: 2/3/2002 - The only reason that any of us ever feel as though we are left out, alone, or otherwise cut off from Love and Life is because we have been deceived into believing and embracing those thoughts telling us that the only company there is to keep is that of our own.

Classroom Talk: 8/8/2021 - Part 1: Any sense of discouragement that wants to drag us down into its dark world, where it feeds on the feelings of hopelessness that it loves to create -- appears when, and as it does -- for a single reason: to keep us from realizing that there is no such thing as failure for those who will consciously walk into...and then through whatever may be their...

Peace already exists in the middle of a storm; We are intended to be living instruments of peace and kindness; Enlightenment is not a static condition; If you do not see the whole, then you are not a whole human being; Everyday is spent doing what you love, whether it is spent...

Topics Covered: If we want to change the world we see, then we have to change the way we see the world; Karma is not just cause and effect the way that we usually think of it.
